Fig. 5From: Methylated site display (MSD)-AFLP, a sensitive and affordable method for analysis of CpG methylation profilesPercent methylation levels of CpGs in the MSD-AFLP peak charts. a Percent methylation levels derived from MSRE-PCR. b Typical peak chart from liver DNA (upper) and SssI-treated artificially methylated DNA (lower). c Scatter plot of signal ratios (SR) and percent methylation levels (derived from MSRE-PCR) of 11 CpGs. SR was calculated by dividing the fluorescence intensities derived from MSD-AFLP by that of the SssI-treated artificially methylated DNA. An approximation formula expressing the relationship between the percent methylation levels determined by MSRE-PCR analysis and SR was developed using the Hill equation. d Percent methylation levels of the MSD-AFLP peak charts were determined by substituting SR into the Hill equationBack to article page
